Short version for electronic newsletter:

Make a Plan for the Region. The Chicago Metropolitan Agency for Planning (CMAP) and its partners are developing a new comprehensive regional plan – called ON TO 2050 – and CMAP needs your perspective on the how our region should look in 2050. Please:

Email onto2050@cmap.illinois.gov to tell CMAP your big ideas or to schedule an informative ON TO 2050 workshop to discuss the challenges and opportunities in your community.

Long version for electronic newsletter:

What are your big ideas for the region's future?Change comes to the Chicago region by chance and by design. By anticipating change – and better yet, making our own – we can work together more effectively to meet the needs of our region's residents.

The Chicago Metropolitan Agency for Planning (CMAP) and its partners have begun development of the new ON TO 2050 comprehensive plan to build a more prosperous future and enhance the quality of life for the seven counties and 284 municipalities of northeastern Illinois.

Before the plan is completed in October 2018, CMAP will spend the next two years researching the region's challenges, working on ideas that can influence the future of the region, and, most importantly, collaborating with the people who live and work in the region to shape a plan that embodies their vision for the future and serves their needs.

For ON TO 2050, CMAP seeks your ideas about topics such as:

Transportation systems

Access to jobs

Housing choices

Managing flooding

Climate resilience

Preservation of natural areas

Workable tax policies

Opportunities for reinvestment

To learn more and get involved with the ON TO 2050 plan, visit CMAP's website at www.cmap.illinois.gov/onto2050. Use onto2050@cmap.illinois.gov to email your big ideas or to request a CMAP community workshop to discuss the plan. And please share your #2050BigIdeas on Twitter or Facebook.

A good regional comprehensive plan comes to life when its stakeholders take it and run with it. Regional planning is for all of us.
